The finalists for the 2015 Lancashire Tourism Awards have been announced – with a comprehensive shortlist ranging from big hotels to small family-run eateries, peaceful nature reserves to the vibrant music and dance festivals hosted in the county.

The businesses on the shortlist will now be invited to interviews with the awards judging panel.

Ruth Connor, Chief Executive of Marketing Lancashire said: “The quality of applications for the tourism awards never fails to impress and this year the judges have a real challenge deciding on the winners in each category.

“Lancashire has seen consistent growth in visitor numbers over the last six years and these visitors are now spending more in the county, making a £3.68billion contribution to Lancashire’s economy.

“The visitor economy is vital to Lancashire’s success and each year the Lancashire Tourism Awards is our way of celebrating the huge effort and investment made by our industry colleagues across the board.

“I wish all the finalists luck in the next stage of the awards process and look forward to congratulating Lancashire’s best in class at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool on 5 November.”
